Start from the problem.

Every site situation has a system, not a single product: the technical reasoning, the construction details and the materials it is built from.

White tank

The structure itself is the waterproofing. No membrane to lay, no sheet to protect: watertightness is decided at the batching plant and at the joints.

Retaining wall in groundwater

When the below-grade structure sits in groundwater, hydrostatic pressure is permanent and finds every flaw. The choice changes radically depending on whether the excavation is still open or not.

Leaking basement

The structure is built, the backfill is in, and water gets in. The work is done from the inside, in three stages that must be followed in order.

Reinforced concrete repair

Spalling cover concrete is not a cosmetic issue: it is the visible symptom of a process eating away the reinforcement. Repairing means stopping that process, not covering it.

Rising damp in masonry

Water rises from the ground through the capillaries of the masonry and stops where it evaporates, leaving the salts behind. A chemical barrier interrupts the path without touching the structure.

Construction joints and joints

A construction joint is the interface between two pours placed at different times. It is not a defect: it is a design choice that must be engineered as such.

Swimming pools

A swimming pool is a tank that works the other way round: water pushes from the inside, permanently, and is chemically aggressive. No other structure puts waterproofing under such continuous strain.

Roofs and terraces

Demolishing a terrace's paving costs more than the waterproofing itself. Fast liquid systems let you work straight over the existing floor.

Drinking water reservoirs

In drinking-water structures, waterproofing must not just hold: it must be certified for contact with water intended for human consumption.

Sewage treatment and process tanks

In treatment plants, concrete suffers three attacks at once: chemical, biological and mechanical. It is the harshest environment a structure can work in.

Facades and exposed concrete

On architectural concrete, quality is decided before the pour, with the release agent, and preserved afterwards, with hydrophobing.

Tunnels and underground structures

In major underground works, waterproofing is no longer repairable once in service. Every choice must be made knowing it will be final.
